Building a Gesture-Controlled Arduino Robot and Python Suyash Joshi

Delve into the realm of robotics with a hands-on exploration of a gesture-controlled robotic powered by Arduino and Python. This talk will cover the fundamentals of human-robot interaction using computer vision gestures, providing practical insights into setting up and controlling a robotic arm. Attendees will learn to integrate TensorFlow for gesture recognition and utilize a time-series database for real-time telemetry and analytics.

The session will also include a live demonstration, allowing participants to interact with the robotic arm, and offer access to open-source code on GitHub for further experimentation.
